FW3A, a TLF/BLF EDC flashlight - SST-20 available, coupon codes public

I have a completely unrelated question. I was thinking of using a drilled optic that holds tritium vials. Is that a bad idea based on the heat this light will likely generate? Perhaps if I limit the max level?

@Tom
It doesn’t sound slow if it ramps in 3 sec.

I think there are situations where it should not be super fast:

- if you got straight out off the bed and you want to use moonlight

- if you’re drunk

- if you have taken medicine

  • if you’re a bit older

I think you are very used to Narsil, so you have an advantage.
:slight_smile:

Well with mode memory the lamp remembers the last level. But the User doesn’t. After 10 I don’t know any more where the brightnesd of a light was.

So you can reset it to a usefull level.

And if you than switch it on you have 150lm

It’s like setup your gear ready to go.
It’s like your car in your garage with a full gas tank.

It’s one klick for ON instead of ramping

Tom, of course full Narsil is preferred. But indeed some tweaks needed for this small size light.

Gunga you ought to check how these vials react to high temperatures and lots of lumens blasted at them :wink:

Just seems like one of many usage scenarios. I've used lights in walking trails and I like the idea of setting a perfect level of brightness, but most of the time, walking with the light OFF. But I can simply get back to the level I previously set, which is ideal for this scenario. 150 lumens may be useful, may not be, for this usage. I'd rather be the one setting the level, not the light forcing me to a specific level. I do like the idea of getting to the max 7135 level though, since it's an efficient setting.

Please add me to the interested list! Thanks

Interested

Tom I don’t know how you do it, but Narsil (in all its forms), is a thing of beauty. Can’t wait to see what it does with this unique flashlight.

+1!!

will update list later :slight_smile:

Please put me down for a second light.

i know it’s done when it’s done, but when’s it going to be done? :slight_smile:

Sometime between this christmas and next :stuck_out_tongue:

oh - so “after xmas” is already known?

I’m fairly certain he was just fooling around.

ok, well i was trying to wade through all that and it got too confusing, trying to figure out if any real date or range was buried in all that or not.

at least he isn;t asking for crowd funding (UNLIKE zanflare, or the ‘cardboard bike’ that never emerged from the begging stage. ).
:slight_smile:

wle

I’ve been keeping up with it and I don’t remember seeing a date. There might be a goal, but those goal posts have been known to move.

A rough estimate is written by The Miller HERE

Yeah no new info so what I said in the post Yokiamy refers to stands

I waited too long already and don’t want to be in the last 1/4 of the list this time…put me down for 2 please.

I would guess after the Chinese New Year.
